Here is Hinckley trying rice cereal for the first time (taken November 2nd, I think). I love the faces he makes. I also love hearing Travis's laugh in the background. What blessings I live with!
(And as a side note--Trav found this great video converter so now we can post our videos! See, we have a great video camera, but it films in JVC's proprietary format. Very hard to work with. No problem anymore! Thanks, honey!)

Tummy Time!
Here is Hinckley at 7 weeks having a good time on his belly. He has started to smile now. If he hadn't stolen our hearts before, we are hopelessly fallen for him now! (The volume is really low...sorry)

Hinckley's blessing
It was a beautiful blessing, a wonderful experience. Thanks to everyone who bent their schedules and drove for miles to make it. Nona and Papi take the cake with over 2100 miles one-way!

A Few More Pictures
Compliments of Lynda and Brett, here are some pictures that they took of Hinckley the day after he was born.
Awww, don't you just love him?
Our sleeping Angel.
The proud father.
Even when he's wailing, he's still adorable.
And here are his baby blues. We're seeing more and more of them everyday as he is becoming more alert. Trav has blue eyes, so I wonder if Hinckley's will stay this color...The pediatrician says "he's perfect," and who are we to argue with the good doctor?
We love you, little guy!

HE'S HERE!!!!
Well, it figures it would take the birth of a firstborn son to make me ever write on a blog. This post is coming from yours truly, Travis.
Hinckley George Needham was born June 2nd, 2010, 10:46pm PST, 8.00 pounds, 21 inches.
Here are some pics hot off the presses.

Today's the Day!
We're headed to the hospital today to be induced. 5 am was the appointed time, and at 11 days late, it feels like a long time in coming. So, we got up at 4 am, and just as we were leaving, Labor and Delivery called and said they were short on beds at the moment--to wait by the phone and they would call us ASAP, sometime before noon. But we did take a "before" picture so that those who can't believe how big I've gotten can see it for themselves!
Eat your heart out, Michael. Your little sister's pregnant.

I passed!
Whew! Thank you to everyone who lent their thoughts and prayers regarding thesis defense. Friday, March 5th, was a little stressful on that count, so I really appreciate it! My professors strolled in a few minutes late, which put me at ease a little. They were seeming pretty lax, so I ought to feel the same, right? They grilled me for an hour-and-a-half, poking holes and pointing out insufficiencies, until I thought I might have been in trouble.
But not to worry. In the end, they said that I "passed with minor revisions." Yee-haw! Do the happy dance! So this past week was filled with those revisions (the 'minor' revisions came out to 15-16 hours worth...), and I've passed it on to the final checkers. The most they'll tell me to do now is something like "fix the page numbers" or "this part should be single spaced, not double." And THAT'S IT!
You know what the best part was? Travis came and sat through the whole thing. It must have bored him silly, but he cheerfully came, and it meant the world to me :) So very sweet. See? See what I mean? He's great.
Now the final checkers have to finish with it by Friday, and I have one more form to turn in. Then I will officially declare it done.
Mom and Dad, I can't wait to see you this week. And for those who have asked for belly pictures--I'm sure some will get taken while the family is here. They'll make their way up here soon. :)
